Topic: EZ Mat for Poser (Read 834 times)

EZ Mat for Poseris a free Poser addon that makes working with shaders and materials much easier. As well as incorporating all of the popular EZSkin functionality and a suite of tools for creating shaders from scratch, copying shaders from one material zone to another (whilst optionally retaining the target material's own maps), aligning and renaming nodes and replacing texture maps while retaining the exisitng node structure, EZMat also comes with several plugins that make it easy to apply configurable shader effects to selected materials. EZMat plugins are not only configurable, but any combination of settings can be saved a named preset, making it easy to apply your favourite shader effect at any time. Some plugins are designed to apply shaders as a new layer over the top of existing shaders, so that effects like foam can be added to an existing skin texture, for example. Among the included plugins are several that incorporate the discoveries of the Poser material guru Bagginsbill, one that emulates the effect of Snarlygribbly's Snow Machine script and another that provides the core functionality of SceneFixer. For the more adventurous with some Python knowledge, it is quite possible to create your own plugins, either for personal use or commercial distribution. Full documentation, templates and examples are provided to assist with this. A comprehensive user guide written by aRtBee describes all the features of EZMat and how to best use them. aRtBee has also written a mini user guide for each included plugin. EZMat is compatible with all Poser versions from 9 upwards and works in both the Windows and Mac versions. NB: When using EZMat, there might be a small delay when switching between the body parts of some figures, depending on the complexity of the figure designBy SnarlyGribbly
